The Lakes At Ahwatukee

The pro shop is a literal half size single wide trailer, no alcohol, half the course is dirt, half the sand traps aren’t even sand, majority of bathrooms are porta-potty, and they charged $55 to play this garbage course. Save yourself time and money and just go to the range.

A fair review of the course is not possible.

it is in redevelopment and has potential.

it was an unexpected 114 degrees after 9 that day, adding a little suffering to the round. But that's not the course's fault.

I'll play there again absolutely, but not with a client. (Maybe by 2026?)

This course has nice bones. The lakes were about half full due to a microburst damaging the pump that feeds them. I played on a weekday so nobody ahead or behind me. There are some long holes that let you use all the clubs in your bag. Greens were well kept. Staff was friendly.i look forward to playing again when the lakes are full. Only complaint was the J john on the 15th or 16th hole was the most disgusting filthy mess I've ever seen and I've been a frame carpenter for 35 years. I couldn't go inside of it.

"once one of the best... "

LOL

Maybe 20yrs ago. Not today. This place is NOTHING like it used to be. Bad ownership has killed it. Trees were cut down. Clubhouse gone. Parking lot even crumbling apart asphalt. Huge swaths of bare dirt everyware ... Even on greens. Ball jumps around on the bumpy greens. They can't even manage to put water in the ball washers... Which you will need because of all the mud your ball picked up IN THE FAIRWAY.

Easily the worst course I have played in the last 5yrs. Stay away.

The course needed some attention. Fairy grass was dead in playable places. Greens looked burnt. No water available on course.

The tee boxes and greens are in good shape. The staff was friendly and helpful. The fairways are lacking bermuda grass. This is an executive course which allows a faster pace round.

The area is perfect nice view and lakes are pleasant.

Played today at The Lakes for the first time in a while. The staff was really friendly, the cart was clean and ready to go, but the course was in rough shape.

I know it's been hot this summer, but not sure what is going on with the course. The tee boxes and greens were in pretty good shape. I think these were in the best shape that I have seen in a long time. But everything else besides the green and tee boxes where just bad. The bunkers need a lot of work, as there are so many rocks in there, that IF you were to hit out of it, you will mess up your club. I wish they would sift the sand and just have sand in the bunkers and not rocks with a little bit of sand.

Everything in between the tee boxes and greens looked as if they just aerated the areas. But there is ZERO grass. So the par-4s, you hit it into the "fairway" and it just lands in dirt and at times, just plug into the ground as there are a lot of holes in the ground from the aeration.

I'm local and this is a fun course and it could be such a great course, if they just did some more work. Add some more trees, more areas of grass and fix the bunker (sand).

I would recommend this course, as it has a fun layout, but if it doesn't get (any) better, golfers will go somewhere else to play.

Considering where this course was a year ago, the rate of improvement is good. Improvement is still needed For the most part, the par 3 holes are in decent shape. The longer holes don’t really have fairways. The greens are in good shape. The course was wide open! Very friendly and helpful staff. Hopefully we will see continued progress in the coming months.

Wait for a deal. $20 vs $39 is possible. No coolers allowed so don't know how you can ice down your drinks. Construction bathrooms .. yecch. Course is in pretty good shape though. Driving range is more popular than the golf course. Future plans still a couple of years out. No GPS on half the course.
